A pilot study is conducted to examine a 12-week weigh management program. Twelve overweight participants were enrolled, and weight was recorded before and after the 12-week program. Investigators plan to use a paired t-test to examine whether the program was effective in reducing weight. Which of the following are the degrees of freedom for this paired t-test?
| a. |
10 |
|
| b. |
11 |
|
| c. |
12 |
|
| d. |
13 |
Given, Sample n = 12
For paired t-test,
Degrees of freedom = n - 1
= 12 - 1
= 11

Camp Jump Start is an 8-week summer camp for overweight and obese adolescents. counselors develop a weight-management program for each camper that centers on nutrition education and physical activity. To justify the cost of the camp, counselors must provide empirical evidence that the weight-management program is effective. Effectiveness is measured as the amount of weight lost (difference between before and after weights). In a study published in Pediatrics(April 2010), the BMI was measured for each of 76 campers both at...

In a study of 380 diabetics and nondiabetics, patients were classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese according to their diabetes status. The probability of being normal weight is 0.31 and the probability of having diabetes is 0.39. If you select two individuals from the population, the probability of being diabetic and normal weight is 0.09. What is the probability that either of the two randomly selected individuals (or both) will be diabetic or normal weight? a. Pr (diabetic...
